Introducing a world traveler: My Son’s New HP Pavilion Notebook Computer

After ordering his notebook computer from HP Direct, I noted that there was a FedEx website to log the worldwide travels of his new best friend. (Naw, Sadie, his overgrown Yellow Labrador Retriever is still top of the friend list.)

I was glad to meet my son’s new computer friend. I would love to order a new laptop computer for my home based Christian business ventures.

Is It A Laptop or A Notebook

He says notebook as does Hewlett Packard, HP Pavilion’s family of origin. Besides, my son told me that with the heat that notebook computer generates, you don’t want to have all that heat on your lap if your folks want grand kids someday.

So now the trick is to convince my wife that my ministry and business ventures would be far more effective with my own business grade notebook computer.

Onward with purpose,
